The mobile phone worked fine. However, after I set the password, I couldn’t get past the password entry screen. It keeps saying “Try again” as if I enter the wrong/incorrect password. I did not forget my password, but it is not accepted by the mobile. Maybe the password was stored incorrectly or corrupted?
